Step-by-Step Process for SBS & APP Waterproofing Membrane Installation
Waterproofing is critical for extending the lifespan of building structures, especially roofs. Contractors widely use SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) and APP (Atactic Polypropylene) membranes for waterproofing projects. This guide details the installation process to ensure optimal water damage protection. 1. Installation Process Overview Clean the substrate Apply primer Install reinforcement layers (if required) Lay the membrane Seal […]
Cold Weather Bitumen Membranes: Strategies for Success
As winter slides in and mercury drops, sticking modified-bitumen roof sheets becomes a real headache we cant brush aside. Every choice , from the asphalt polymer we select to the way the crew rolls and sets the laps, determines how well a roof can shrug off snow, ice, and punishing wind. At Huafeng Waterproof Materials […]
SBS Roofing Membranes: Applications & Standards
With the advancement of science and technology, various new types of waterproof membranes continue to emerge. However, elastomer-modified bitumen waterproof membranes (commonly known as SBS waterproof membranes) consistently maintain a leading position in market demand. This is mainly due to their wide applicability, ease of installation, stable material performance, and excellent cost-effectiveness. SBS Waterproof Membranes […]
Roof Waterproofing and Thermal Protection: Step-by-Step Techniques for Longevity
Step 1: Preparing the Original Structural Layer First, remove the existing structural finishes. If the original rooftop already has waterproofing or insulation layers, they must be completely chiseled off to expose the bare concrete structure.If there are water or electrical pipes on the terrace, apply a leveling layer to cover them before waterproofing. Otherwise, the […]
Why Waterproof Coatings Often Require Polyester Fabric Reinforcement
When it comes to daily waterproofing work, waterproof coatings are one of the most common choices. They perform exceptionally well in terms of impermeability and water resistance. At the same time, they feature excellent flexibility and tear resistance, which means that even when a building experiences settlement or structural deformation, the coating does not crack […]
Innovative Eco-Friendly Waterproof Coatings with Bio-Based Polymers
In recent years, sustainability has become a critical factor in construction and home improvement materials. Waterproof coatings, traditionally seen as purely functional, are now being evaluated through the lens of environmental impact. But what exactly makes a waterproof coating eco-friendly, and how can the industry innovate for a greener future? Most conventional waterproof coatings rely […]
Choosing the Right Foundation Waterproofing Method
What is the Best Method of Foundation Waterproofing? When it comes to waterproofing the foundation, exterior waterproofing or positive-side waterproofing is deemed the best method. It involves installing a complete waterproof barrier on the entire foundation walls which stops water and moisture from accessing the concrete structure. This method is effective because it avoids the […]
